6-Double Take with Ivan Silver

“I’m not sure we’re there yet, in psychiatry, in having that kind of useful information to make it really ‘just-for-me’ learning. I think ‘just-in-time’ is here, but ‘just-for-me’ I don’t think has arrived yet.”

In a lively conversation with Dr. Gratzer, Dr. Ivan Silver, former CAMH VP Education, shares his thoughts on how medical education has been reshaped by technology.

In this discussion, Dr. Silver:

introduces some of us to the term “heutagogy” (the study of self-determined learning) and how technology can aid us in with our learning goals;looks back at the rise of video-based lectures;recounts the emergence (and decline) of MOOCs;details the progression of his paper-based library of evidence-based practice to a digital version he can easily share with students;and he brings up an interesting perspective on the impact of technology on the future of the earth (conference attendance really affects one’s carbon footprint!)
